The Chamera Dam impounds the River Ravi and supports the hydroelectricity project in the region.

It is located near the town of Dalhousie, in the Chamba district in the state of Himachal Pradesh in India.

The temperature during the day near the dam rises up to 35 degrees Celsius and drops to a minimum of 18 to 20 °C at night.

The absence of aquatic life in the lake has made it an ideal location for water sports.

The reservoir has a live storage capacity of 110 MCM and mean annual inflow of 1,273 BCM.
